The accompanying drawing represents one of the improved driers invperspective.

The frame A-A is constructed s'o'as to fit up against the side wall andceiling of a room, where it-maybe hung up by means of hooks, or nailedfast permanently. The drying-framoB, formed of tn'orails, bhandcross-slots, iodsQor Wires 12', is hinged to the vertical framev A ata,' so as to be raised or ldneredby means of the cord C, which pressesover` a sheave, c, attachedv to the forward p'art of. the frame A. Whilethe clothes are on the frame drying, or when it is not'in use, the saidframe B will be drawn np by the cord C, as shown in A y Vtheldmwings;but when the clothes are to be put on, the frame may belet down to aconvenient position by the same cord C.
